ADU Plans
Customized ADU Design and Planning Services
An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a smaller, secondary structure located on the same lot as your main home. Whether you’re looking to create extra space for family, generate rental income, or add long-term property value, our team can help you bring your ADU to life with custom plans and complete design solutions.
Unlike generic, pre-drawn plans, our architectural services are fully customized to meet the specific requirements of your lot, comply with local codes, and maximize your property’s potential—even within strict zoning or space limitations.

ADUs are gaining popularity as a flexible way to increase housing availability and optimize existing space. From backyard cottages to detached guest houses or modern in-law suites, we help you navigate every detail to ensure your ADU is functional, safe, and fully permitted.
Our experienced architects, engineers, and project consultants offer hands-on support through every stage—from feasibility studies to construction-ready plans. Whether you’re building a private retreat or a rental unit, your ADU will be designed to serve your lifestyle and long-term goals.

ADU Feasibility: Is Your Property a Good Fit?
Not every property can easily accommodate an accessory dwelling unit. Local zoning laws, utility limitations, and homeowners’ association (HOA) rules often dictate what is—and isn’t—possible. That’s why our process starts with a feasibility assessment.
We evaluate everything from height restrictions and required setbacks to utility upgrades and legal limitations to determine the viability of your project. Whether you’re planning a rental unit, a home office suite, or a space for extended family, we help identify the opportunities and challenges upfront—so you can move forward confidently.
Tackling Common ADU Challenges
Building an ADU isn’t without hurdles. Some neighborhoods are sensitive to changes in density, traffic, or parking. HOAs may have strict rules regarding secondary dwellings. Utility providers might require upgrades to water, sewer, or electrical systems. Local ordinances could also place limits on square footage or design features.
Our team addresses these concerns proactively. During the feasibility phase, we explore potential barriers and provide practical solutions to keep your project compliant, affordable, and on schedule.

The ADU Development Process: Step by Step
We guide you through every phase of your ADU project—from the first concept to the final walk-through.
Step 1: Feasibility and Planning
We begin with a thorough property analysis. This includes reviewing zoning requirements, height restrictions, and any infrastructure updates your local municipality may require. We also help determine whether your ADU will be attached, detached, or garage-converted.
Step 2: Custom ADU Design
Next, we develop detailed architectural plans based on your needs. Our team works closely with you to design a space that’s not only efficient but also visually aligned with your existing home. These floor plans include key components such as kitchens, bathrooms, and flexible living areas.
Step 3: Engineering and Construction Support
Once designs are approved, our structural and civil engineers step in to ensure your ADU meets all safety and code requirements. From load-bearing elements to foundation work and grading, we make sure your project is built to last.
